1. Orígenes Históricos y Racismo Institucional de la Policía.
Existe un consenso recurrente en el texto de que la institución policial estadounidense tiene raíces intrínsecamente racistas, vinculadas históricamente a la persecución de esclavos y al mantenimiento del orden racial.
- As any poc can remind you, local police forces are the linear descendant of militias that hunted down and returned escaped slaves. So no, they are not your friend.
- The police force was originally created specifically to control and police slaves. The whole institution has been racist since day 1.
- Police in this shithole country are equally disgusting if you knew the racist origin story of american policing.
- As they age, the average cis-gendered moderately successful straight white american male slowly realizes how mediocre they are, and that they probably couldnt win a fist-fight, so they become more and more dangerous in an effort to prove this wrong. Thats why hes wearing a police jacket on tv.
2. Percepción de Amenaza y Perfilamiento Racial.
Se argumenta que la percepción de amenaza por parte de los oficiales está sesgada por el color de la piel, haciendo que comportamientos inofensivos en personas blancas sean vistos como amenazantes en personas de color.
- Behaviour seen as harmless or merely strange from a white person is more likely to be perceived as threatening from a person of colour.
- Black people look black every single day whether they would like to or not. We cannot camouflage ourselves to fit into a white-dominated space. We just cant. When police.
- I dare you to try this with a black american after the next police killing of an unarmed black man. Fucking idiot.
- Black americans are nearly 3x more likely to be shot and killed by police than white peers. Niani should be alive today, pursuing her dreams and watching her daughter grow up. Instead, her life was stolen, and xaisha is now one of the millions of american children who have witnessed gun violence.
3. Falta de Responsabilidad y Cultura Interna de la Policía.
Numerosos comentarios señalan la impunidad con la que actúan los oficiales, la existencia de culturas internas tóxicas y la dificultad para reformar o responsabilizar a los miembros de las fuerzas del orden.
- Police departments have been fucking terrorizing certain communities for centuries. When judges on state supreme courts comment that black men have a reason to run from the police, its a problem.
- I see us police murdering and brutalizing black people on the streets, in their houses, or literally anywhere, and seeing zero accountability.
- The best source of systemic racism in police force workplace culture is police. For example look up the texts sent and received by zachary rolfe. And why police fought so hard to not allow the texts to be entered into evidence.
- Before i back the blue, id need to see a video of police brutality in which the brutalizers partner handcuffs and arrests the brutalizer.
4. La Experiencia de los Blancos y la Conciencia del Racismo Policial.
Algunos comentaristas blancos expresan cómo sus propias experiencias negativas o el testimonio de personas de color han cambiado su visión tradicionalmente positiva o ingenua sobre la policía.
- I am ashamed to say i became aware of this thanks to blm. Sadly, it fundamentally changed what i was taught to believe about this country.
- I cannot imagine trusting the police, and im a white person. Having a visible disability has caused my share of awful encounters with cops.
- Somehow its still funny every single time some naive white moron comes to slowly understand the police are not there to protect them.
- I know im not the only one in america who grew up with a boomer parent warning about cops pulling people over to sexually assault them and my mom is as white and middle class as they come.
5. Llamadas a la Acción y Alternativas a la Policía Actual.
El sentimiento generalizado es de profunda desconfianza, con llamados a la abolición o reforma radical de las estructuras policiales, y la crítica a quienes defienden el statu quo.
- Defund police if they insist on acting like slave patrols black people wind up dead in the presence of law enforcement because their lives are discounted. Slavepatrols.
- Abolishthepolice.
- If you think even for a second these people are a good faith organisation trying to help the community, i can show you them chanting white power and calling police traitors to their race.
- Black people, quit taking white advice on how to deal with the police. They dont face the same consequences.
